Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- In a large pot, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until they are soft. Add the shredded chicken, peas, and corn. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the chicken filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top of the filling, leaving some space between each biscuit for expansion.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- For a dairy-free version, swap heavy cream for coconut cream.
- Let the pot pie rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set.
